Abstract
A system is configured for real time detection and prevention of segregation of duties violations in business-critical applications. The system includes a software application monitor, a Segregation of Duties (SoD) conflict detection engine, a processor and a memory. The software application monitor configured to monitor an action executed by a user in the software application in real-time. The SoD conflict detection engine receives an action notification from the software application monitor having an action and an associated user, and determines whether the action is associated with a conflict in a conflict rule database. The engine looks up the user and action and determines if the user has permission to execute the action and/or if the user has previously executed the action, and if so outputs a preventive alert indicating a segregation of duties violation.
